The Secret is OUT!

Okay, Okay, Okay....for those of you that have known for weeks now about Brian and my little secret, I know you have been waiting for this day (namely my sisters, Katie & Kirsten)!

So here it goes - The secret is (finally) OUT!!!!

BRIAN AND I HAVE BEEN ABUNDANTLY BLESSED WITH A MIRACLE GROWING IN MY TUMMY!!!

Introducing Baby Miller.....
(This picture was taken at 8 weeks and the kid was squirming around so much, kicking and waving, it was hard to get a clear picture of his or her arms and legs - as you can see, I have labeled the Head, the Arm Buds, and the Leg Buds.)

As most of you know, Brian and I got married on June 30th and we entered into our marriage covenant making a pact with God that when He was ready to bless us with a child, we would be ready to receive. This might sound stupid to some, however, knowing so many couples that have tried and tried to conceive only to spend months "trying" before getting their blessing; We were willing to wait as long as God intended. Much to our amazement and THANKFULNESS, God only waited 2 weeks after our precious wedding ceremony to BLESS us!

I will keep this G-Rated and save you all from the "details" :) - Let's just say, to call this our "Honeymoon Miracle" would not be too far fetched! We are into our 12th week of marriage and also into our 12th week of pregnancy! Our little one is expected on or around April 4, 2008 - Something else we are excited about, Brian's birthday is April 1st and Karen's Birthday is April 5th. We love being April Babies and can't wait to have our own April Baby (unless he/she comes early).

We are overwhelmingly excited. Brian has read about 4 books now and when he goes to get groceries, he is already buying diapers to start our stock-up. He is going to be an amazing Daddy! We are preparing not only to love this child unconditionally, but also starting to pray for our little one - That he or she will grow up into a man or woman of God with a heart that truly lives to love and serve Jesus. We are beginning to understand the responsibility that God has bestowed on us and we are thankful beyond words.

We appreciate your prayers and love over the next 6 months as our miracle grows.

Love and blessings to all,

Karen & Brian :)
